Didn't stay in his bubble

No, he got in 'good trouble'

The day that Cory got Vocal.

-

He prepared for the feat

Did not take a seat

The day that Cory got Vocal

-

He worked with his team

They printed more than one ream

The day that Cory Got Vocal.

-

He was calm and polite

In the midst of the fight

The day that Cory got Vocal.

-

He showed the whole world

How we're tossed and we're twirled

The day that Cory got Vocal.

-

Didn't waste his shot

'cause once may be all that he's got

The day that Cory got Vocal.

-

Read not a child's (or phone) book,

Instead shared cries for help for our look

The day that Cory got Vocal.

-

Didn't flinch- showed the rough,

Asked 'How much is enough?!'

The day that Cory got Vocal.

-

The record he broke

(It's no shame to be woke!)

The day that Cory got Vocal.

-

He made clear his choice

Now we must use our voice!

The People must now be Vocal
